Some Stuff I Forgot

Last Xmas my husband's sister-in-law requested that I make her the log cabin blanket in Mason Dixon Knitting. It took a year, but here it is:

(My husband suggested I be in the photo for scale or it would just look like a potholder.) Boy did I burn through some yarn. I'm working on a blue one now because I have a ton of old blue acrylic yarn. If I can stomach working on a yellow one I might do that after. Then I will have a lean, mean stash pile.

I made two of these Chinese Charm purses from the Stitch 'n Bitch book, one in blue and one in green. Of course I only photographed the green one:

I bought a bunch of those pewter rats at a craft show. I didn't know what I was going to do with them but I knew they were awesome. I pinned the plastic bag with pewter-care instructions to the inside of the purse. I also bought pewter swordfish, and I attached one to the blue bag. Which you cannot see because I forgot to photograph it. I like for folks to use their imaginations.

Here's something I just made for fun, hoping to foist it on someone as an Xmas gift. I somehow ended up with an old bamboo tray that had some horrible watermelon print fabric glued to it. For some reason I saw potential in this. First I spraypainted it black, then I decoupaged a bunch of space shit all over it:

I just recently bought a matching bamboo tray, sans watermelon fabric, so I'm going to make another one. I think it's rad as hell but I have absolutely no use for it. So why not have two? Am I right?

I'm fishing through my Flickr account to see if I missed anything else, but I think that's it. I still have to prep the photos from one last project, which I will do sometime this weekend, and that should be the last of it.
